The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) has been systematically administering psychotropic drugs to immigrants in the process of being deported as the Washington Post reported this week. Deportees who in the past had resisted deportation were injected with drugs, often a three drug "cocktail," in order to keep them pliant during deportation. These drugs included the powerful antipsychotic drug Haldol, as well as the antianxiety drug Ativan, and Cogentin, a drug used to treat the often severe Parkinsons illness like side-effects of Haldol.

    • This issue should be in the forefront of our attention. I keep thinking Brave New World has to be one of this administrations textbooks. At any rate, we need to watch closely how people are being treated. What happens to the most helpless among us can also happen to those who think they are strong.
